"Landfill" Wouldn't it be best if you donate a cable or something if its in a good enough condition?

Better than just tossing it out, especially if some people don't upgrade every single release and would still like a cable.

Ya that’s dumb asf, especially if it’s just to charge the phone which the majority of people only need it for that.

Problem solved, I have usb c to lightning adaptor too anyone needs to borrow my cable to charge I can use it and so can they
